Now, as she stared at the man who had witnessed her most vulnerable side, Shido returned her gaze, smiling calmly yet with a hint of helplessness.
The woman continued to study him, her eyes narrowed and glinting with a fierce intensity, as if to show that she was not someone to be underestimated or pitied
Yet, as she had a better look at his appearance, she had to say, the boy in front of her was really handsome. Looking at his appearance, he doesn't seem to be that old but he wasn't that young either.
He was noticeably mature and a few centimeters taller than her. A mysterious aura seemed to surround him, making her feel both comfortable and inexplicably drawn to him. For some reason, she didn't resist this attraction, like a firefly drawn to a flame, she was instinctively pulled toward him, fully aware of the danger yet unable to turn away from its light.
Yet, because of this, a certain thought crossed in her mind.
"What's you name?"
"My name?"
"Yes!"
Seeing the woman who look quite agitated and impatient, Shido sighed inside his heart and just wanted to go back to his apartment to meet Frieren and Rumia, and also his neighbor, Mahiru.
However, Shido still told her his name. "My name is Itsuka Shido, what about you?"
The woman was satisfied when Shido obediently told her his name so she also told her her name.
"My name is Hiratsuka Shizuka. Nice to meet you, Shido-kun~"
"...Likewise, Hiratsuka-san."
Shido didn't know why but he felt that this woman was up to no good, yet, even if that's the case, she could possibly win against him who could fight against those monsters in overlord world, right?
"By the way, you don't have anything to do, right? If not, then come along with this big sister." Hiratsuka draped her arms over Shido's shoulders as if they were old friends.
"I actually still have something to do, so…" Shido tried to protest, but when she draped her arms over his shoulders like a tyrant, her sweet scent wafted into his nose. Though she had been drinking, leaving a faint trace of beer on her, it didn't overpower her fragrance. Instead, the two scents oddly complemented each other, forming an almost intoxicating, addictive aroma. He also felt something soft pressing firmly against his arms, which was surprisingly pleasant.
"Alright! Since you have nothing to do, let's go somewhere! *Hick*" Ignoring Shido's response, Hiratsuka said without wanting a rejection.
Her words left Shido speechless, but there was nothing he could do, he simply went along with her whims. Besides, even though Hiratsuka seemed sober, she had drunk a beer, so it would have been dangerous for her to drive alone so he could only reluctantly go with her to ensure her safety.
"Let's go!" Dragging Shido to her car, Hiratsuka smirked as she watched Shido's helpless expression and somehow, it made her even more excited.
She wasn't sure if it was the effect of the beer, but for some reason, she felt her body hotter for some reason.
"Alright, alright." Shido shook his head at her excitement and followed her as her hands was holding his. Entering the car, Hiratsuka immediately accelerated her car to a very fast pace which can frighten a normal person. However, to Hiratsuka it was exhilarating, a thrilling rush that made her laugh with pure delight.
As for his motorcycle, Shido quietly pulled it back into his inventory while Hiratsuka wasn't looking. In just a few minutes, they arrived in front of a massive apartment building. Shido fell silent for a moment, then looked at her curiously and asked, "Um… where are we?"
"My apartment. *Hick*"
Seeing her slightly flushed from the alcohol, Shido couldn't help but wonder what might happen next.
In any case, he sent a message to Rumia and Frieren and told them that he might not be able to return tonight. As for how the both of them had smartphone, Shido had bought them those since it was useful, especially in communication. With his 'Memory Manipulation, Shido transferred information how to use phone to their mind.'
Without waiting for another second, Shido immediately received a reply from Frieren which made him slightly helpless at how accurate her guess was.
"Are you with a woman?"
...
"Sorry for intruding."
Saying this politely, Shido walked behind Hiratsuka, observing her apartment. As he looked around, he realized it was much larger and more luxurious than his own. He couldn't help but wonder just how wealthy Hiratsuka was, not to mention the sports car she drove.
She definitely couldn't afford it with just her job as a teacher and it might have something to do with her family's background.
"Oh, just sit wherever you want." Saying that, Hiratsuka directly went to her room leaving Shido alone in the living room.
Seeing her sloppy behavior, Shido was at loss as she was too irresponsible.
'That's why you never got a boyfriend.' he thought.
The apartment building was quite tall and, Hiratsuka's apartment were on the 14th floor. While Hiratsuka were on her room, seemingly changing her clothes, Shido scanned his eyes around and he had to say, even though she was quite carefree and irresponsible, her apartment was remained neat and tidy.
Initially, he thought that her apartment would be slightly messy considering her personality but it seemed that he was wrong.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Exiting her room, Hiratsuka walk out in her home clothes where she could feel comfortable. She wore a large baggy shirt with gray sweater pants making her look totally sloppy.
Under his gaze, Hiratsuka sat in his opposite while scratching her stomach shamelessly like a guy. Yet, because of her careless action, Shido manage to see a part of her stomach that was well toned and slender.
Hiratsuka was interested in things that many girls would frown upon, and martial arts were one of those things. Perhaps because of that, a subtle hint of abs could be seen on her flat stomach, making her even more hotter.
Shido gulp subconsciously at this sight, since it was oddly alluring.
"What's wrong? Why did you suddenly went silent?"
Hiratsuka felt something was wrong with Shido when he didn't reply so she asked him. However, she saw that he was in daze looking at something, so she followed his line of sight. Yet the moment she found what he was looking at, Hiratsuka fell silent as well, before her face flushed red as she subconsciously thrown things at Shido.
"Pervert!"
"Hey! Stop throwing things!"
Shido dodged the things thrown to him by Hiratsuka but she doesn't seem to stop any time soon so Shido decided to use forceful means to stop her.
With a swift movement, Shido quickly closed the distanced between the two of them by exuding an inhuman speed. This surprised Hiratsuka and thought that the boy she impulsively invited to her apartment was not that simple as she had assumed.
However, she was a martial artist and confident in her abilities. Hiratsuka could easily take on three to five delinquents but in front of Shido? The result should be obvious right?
Before she could react, she felt her vision turned upside down. Shido had already pinned her to the floor, holding both of her arms firmly.
Even though she was knock to the floor by Shido, Hiratsuka didn't feel any pain in her body, instead a soft force negated the impact of her body.
"Please calm down, okay?"
Hearing his words, Hiratsuka turned her attention towards Shido who was positioned above her. His voice was low but it carried a hint of commanding tone that made her subconsciously obey her. However, she didn't seem to hate it, instead Hiratsuka was even expecting something to happen
Because of that, Hiratsuka finally calmed down as she fell silent, but then she quickly noticed how ambiguous their current position was, making her face tinge with pinkish blush. She wanted to struggle but Shido's power was just too strong that she couldn't shake him off at all so she could only give up while feeling embarrassed.
'Ah! Is this how I'm going to lose my first time?' Thinking of that, Hiratsuka felt shy yet also excited.
Shido also noticed this and felt that fate was really playing with him. Yet, seeing that Hiratsuka fell meekly silent, Shido knew that she finally recollected herself.
Retracting his hands from her wrist, Shido get up from her as Hiratsuka slowly sat in the floor feeling slightly at loss or might be disappointed.
Looking at her, Shido sighed and really wondered why this virgin woman drag him in her apartment. He thought for a bit before he said "I don't know why you drag me in your apartment but I am a man after all, so..."
"...So?" Hiratsuka who who also staring at Shido with complicated eyes was curious and asked him
"...An accident my happen." Shido said while staring fixated at her eyes that was filled with desire.
Despite his treatment towards her earlier, Shido didn't let her be hurt when she fell down.
However, to Hiratsuka, she wanted something more to happen. It might be because she was very desperate at this moment to get a boyfriend and marry, but she decided to provoke Shido.
"Hmmp! A man?" Hiratsuka snorted while smiling provocatively at Shido. "To me, you are just a boy who hasn't even had an experience with a woman."
'Like you are one to talk!' Shido's lips twitched as he heard Hiratsuka's words.
"You are playing with fire, Hiratsuka-san." Shido said as he take a deep breathing trying to calm the fire rising inside her.
"Coward." Hiratsuka sneered at Shido. While she seemed to be making a scornful expression, Hiratsuka was actually having a conflicting feeling of excitement and nervousness stirring inside her chest.
The way he met her gaze without backing down only heightened the strange heat spreading through her body making it almost possible for someone close to hear how loud her heart pound.
However, her words made Shido snap and he didn't care about what was about to happen anymore as this woman kept provoking him.
"Ah~! Oh~! W-Wait~! This is my first time~! Ah~! Oh~!"
His direct move startled her, but when Hiratsuka looked at him, who hugged her, she loosened herself and gave her everything before screaming sweetly, as she realized just how wonderful it felt to be held.
